TORQUE BARBELL POWERLIFTING CLASSIC

Saturday, August 16, 2014

Torque Powerlifting’s first annual – Torque Barbell Powerlifting Classic. We’ve been looking forward to this since we opened and finally putting everything together. This meet is not affiliated with any federation, no records will be set, and it won’t qualify you for anything.

What it is is an old-school competition in a hardcore gym with trophies, prizes, good music, and good lifting. This is a RAW event. All rules and judging will follow WPC(CPF) guidelines. Squats will be walked out, benches will be “motionless” on the chest, and deadlifts must be a smooth lift with no hitching. There is no drug testing at this event.

This is the first of many competitions at Torque Barbell Club and we’re looking forward to lifting with you.

All classes are free for you to try, so mark the day in your calendar and make sure you come give us a try. You won’t be disappointed.

There will be food and post workout nutrition available, and special guests which will be announced closer to the date.

We will be putting on a free bikini model/fitness model information session, going into detail about the hard work and dedication needed to compete in a fitness/bikini competition. From start to finish, you’ll learn the ins and outs of fitness competition.

The nutrition seminar will cover healthy eating and the basics of a weight loss program, along with more specific topics later in the session. This session will be roughly 30 minutes long.

We hope you can make it and join us as we officially open Toronto’s most authentic fitness training facility.
